Tutbury, Staffordshire

We’ll head southwest across farmland, passing the villages of Draycott in the Clay and Hanbury (where we'll have a pub stop). Afterwards we'll have some great views as far as the Peak District and return via the Faud Crater (a 400ft deep blast crater caused by the accidental detonation of 4,000 tons of high explosive that could be heard as far away as London), before descending to the River Dove and its imposing views of Tutbury Castle. Sorry but no dogs permitted. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of fluids. Car pooling available from Bassetts Pole, contact Ian at least the day before for further details.
